Could be worse, you could still be on the erg...
I wish it were nice enough here to get out on the water, but no such luck.

Uh, that clover is not gonna cut it.
You have to take drastic action.
You have to go sleep with an Irish girl.
I suppose there are worse consquences one could suffer though...

Almost sounds like a good idea for an off-topic thread... :What was your worst day not involving death of a loved one or personal injury? "
(BUT ONLY ON A VERY SLOW BOARD-DAY, in case anyone gets any bright ideas)
If it makes you feel better Jester, I had a really fun one about two years ago: No day has yet rivaled if for me in terms of inconvenience...
Friday Afternoon one fine day in 2000: I get in my car after work, ready to go home to a wonderful weekend with both my wife and a killer game session. I stop at the gas station, gas up, and hit the interstate for home...
...Three miles down, my engine falls out of my car. I
you not. 70 mph, and my engine falls out and starts dragging me to a halt on the side of the interstate. Across two lanes of traffic. 
I get out of my car and proceed to walk in my white-collar wear the three miles back to the interstate. It begins to drizzle.
"Could be worse" I said, trying not to think of the repair bill.
It proceeds to downpour.
I proceed to get thoroughly soaked. I make it back to the exit, and call my wife to pick me up. 1 hour and 30 minutes later, she arrives.
I go home, to find that our toilet is backed up. After I spend 20 mintues getting it unclogged, my fellow DM from our gaming group has called to cancel the session.
To top it off, I related the story to a co-worker the following monday, and she told me that she and her husband had been driving down the interstate that day, and had seen me. She told me I looked like a crazy person walking out there in the rain, with no proper clothes for it, and not recognizing me, just drove on.
I honestly felt like Lieutentant Dan on the shrimp trawler, from the Forrest Gump movie.

Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug. Some days you just gotta crawl back into bed and pull the covers over your head.
On the bright side, at least all that wasn't happening while somebody was kicking you in the head. (That's my brother's best stab at optimism, when things go wrong; I like it)
